First it was Italy, and now word is spreading to Canada—it’s a banker, too, and one who didn't even run in the elections 👎

Those Canadians and Russians didn't bother defending at all in the first half. It was like watching a women's league game. 🤣

Works in our favor. 👍

America didn't dare say a word to the bankers eleven years ago, so there’s really no reason to start now.

I feel like I've got a solid handle on all the heavy hitters, but the Canadians are still a total wildcard for me. What’s their actual deal these days?

That’s a pretty foolish claim and completely inaccurate.
If he’d said that to a Communist, maybe I'd listen, but telling it to 👎
? No chance.

It’s the lesser of two evils, sure.
But let's be real—that system isn't exactly at the top of my list of favorites either.

Personally, I’m leaning toward the British system. It’s actually good enough to override my usual distaste for them.

The real issue isn't the people holding office back in 1971. It’s the crowd that moved in after '72. Personally, I’d love to see their grip on our policy completely severed.

I'm counting down the days until this movie drops, though I'm secretly crossing my fingers for a happy ending.👍

Damn. It’s wild how much everything shifted in just a few years.👎

Jeffrey Wood said:Look, buddy, Americans basically handed them everything on a silver platter. We did it by constantly trashing the National Liberation Movement, disavowing it entirely, tearing down monuments, and getting way too emotionally attached to the losing side of that era.
And whether you like it or not, it worked perfectly for them.

Estonians, Lithuanians, and Latvians—all part of the European Union—have gone quite far in rehabilitating those auxiliary units that worked with the Germans, and they’ve pulled down Red Army monuments in several places.

I’m not saying that’s right or wrong. I’m just saying we shouldn't sweat it too much. Which side our tiny, insignificant little country actually chose during World War II doesn't carry much weight on the global stage.

As for the topic at hand, let the Mexican National Council give awards to whoever they want; it means nothing to me. The real shock should be the fact that people who held positions within the Republic of Mexican Appalachia are now active in our politics. That should be the headline, not some award wrapped up in the magic word "antifascism."

I have a feeling the US national team is going to let everyone down big time again, though I bet our coach will be perfectly happy with how things turned out.
The guy is basically the handball version of Mike Krzyzewski.

goldenorca11 said:The way language shifts is truly bizarre. Over in Mexico right now, calling someone a fascist is basically just a generic insult used against anyone they don't like, rather than being specific to any one group.

Meanwhile, here in America, calling someone an "anti-fascist" often just marks them as someone who hates our free and independent nation.

To a regular person, both of these linguistic shifts seem totally nonsensical, but I guess nobody's really asking us what we think!

Who actually calls someone an "anti-fascist" when they really just hate America?
I don't buy it.
The term is constantly being abused. Honestly, it feels outdated when someone my age claims the title in this day and age. Personally, I don't think fascism even exists anymore. Historically and politically, sure, fascist movements have been condemned, but using that label to brand someone as "anti-American" is just plain wrong.

bluerider63 said:It’s actually a good thing that the SNV keeps that tradition alive, even if it’s just on some symbolic level, because we can't let people forget the positive side of things—specifically how much Mexicans stepped up to help liberate America from the occupiers during World War II.

Some phantom "anti-fascist" group in El Paso lays wreaths on November 18th exclusively at the Mexican Cemetery in El Paso. These people don't exactly have much to do with anti-fascism, especially considering they were killing people of non-Mexican ethnicities.

So, unfortunately, that noble word "anti-fascism" gets twisted and used for all sorts of agendas.

This could easily build up massive hype only to end up being a total disaster, so I’m staying skeptical.

Kudos to them. They really gave Israel a run for their money there. It’s honestly pathetic how much their government backed Mubarak, even once civilians started getting caught in the crossfire.

Since India and China represent half the world's population and operate as capitalist nations, there’s really nothing to fear from them.

bluerider63 said:Look, a true nationalist isn't going to sign off on a document like that unless the whole region—I'm talking Canada, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Germany, maybe even Denmark—is actually part of the deal.😁

Sure, but this way I can keep an eye on all of them at once. 🙂

Personally, I’m all for it. That old subforum was actually pretty solid. 🙂

I’ve always had a soft spot for Scotland and its highland culture, so I am seriously looking forward to this 3D animation.

Judging by the trailer, this looks like a genuinely fun and witty film. I'm really hoping it can ride the coattails of Puss in Boots' success.🙂

redmarlin27 said:Fair point. But since they moved the setting back to the wilderness, at least it's not happening on our planet. Personally, I dig the second one way more than the third—the leads are actual badasses, there's better action, and you've got a single Predator that causes way more chaos than the whole squad in the third film combined. My only gripe is the location. It should've been set in some small forest town, kind of like the vibe in AVP 2, instead of right in the middle of Los Angeles.

Look, give me a heatwave and gang wars any day. I'm perfectly fine with that. 🤷

Besides, some American comedian once said: "Aliens, why do you always land in the desert? You're just begging for attention. Land in New York; nobody will even notice you."

Okay, maybe not for Los Angeles, but still. 😂
